About GIF Maker

GIF Maker turns a sequence of photos or graphics into a real, downloadable animated GIF, entirely in your browser with the gifenc library — nothing is uploaded anywhere. One delay value applies to every frame, and each frame gets its own 256-color palette; if your source images aren't all the same size, later frames are stretched to match the first image's dimensions.

How to use GIF Maker

  1. 1Click the upload area and add two or more images to use as frames.
  2. 2Remove any image using the "x" button on its thumbnail.
  3. 3Set your frame delay using the slider.
  4. 4Click "Create GIF", then preview and download the resulting animated GIF file.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I download a finished GIF file directly?

Yes — click "Create GIF" and a "Download GIF" button appears with the finished, real animated GIF file.

What image formats can I use as frames?

Any image format your browser supports, such as JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF.

Will photos look as good as flat graphics or icons?

Simple, flat-color images tend to look best. The underlying encoder doesn't apply dithering, so photos or gradients with fine color detail may show some visible color banding after being reduced to a 256-color palette.

Is GIF Maker free to use?

Yes, it's completely free with no signup required.

Is my data private?

Yes. Everything happens locally in your browser — your images are never uploaded to a server.

Tips & Tricks

  • Frames are added in the order you upload them, and there's no drag-and-drop reordering — arrange your file selection first if sequence matters.
  • Keep source images the same size; mismatched dimensions get stretched to fit the first frame rather than cropped or padded.
  • Flat-color graphics, icons, and logos encode cleanly — photos and smooth gradients can show visible banding since the encoder doesn't dither.
  • Short delays (50–150ms) read as fluid motion; longer delays (300ms+) suit slideshow-style GIFs where each frame should linger.
